Honda S2000 AP1/AP2 Wheel Fitment Guide | 5x114.3

Home › Wheel Fitment Guides › Honda S2000 AP1 / AP2 Wheel Fitment
The Honda S2000 AP1 / AP2 uses a 5x114.3 PCD but is unusually sensitive to wheel width and offset. Honda designed the car around relatively high-offset staggered wheels, so many generic low-offset 5x114.3 wheels sit too far outward without suspension or body changes.
Honda S2000 wheel fitment quick reference
- PCD: 5x114.3
- Wheel nut thread: M12x1.5
- Factory approach: high-offset staggered wheels
- Front and rear hub pilots differ, so centre-bore / hub-ring requirements must be checked by axle
- 17 inch is one of the most natural aftermarket performance diameters

Why S2000 offsets are different from many JDM cars
The S2000 commonly uses substantially higher positive offsets than platforms such as an S15 Silvia, Evo or modified Skyline. A wheel that is considered conservative on another 5x114.3 car can sit aggressively outward on an S2000.
For that reason, do not shop by PCD and diameter alone. Width and offset must be considered together, with the tyre and alignment setup.
Factory S2000 fitment as a reference
AP1 and AP2 specifications vary by year, but factory S2000 fitment uses a narrower front wheel and wider rear wheel with high positive offsets. That factory geometry is a useful baseline when comparing aftermarket wheels.
Later 17-inch factory-style packages remain relatively conservative compared with the low-offset wheels often seen on other rear-wheel-drive Japanese cars.
17-inch S2000 wheel fitment
Seventeen-inch wheels are a strong street and performance choice because they preserve tyre sidewall and suit the chassis proportions. A conservative setup normally keeps the front and rear offsets relatively high.
Square 17x9 performance setups also exist, typically using high offsets and alignment or suspension choices that suit the wider front wheel. Treat square setups as a planned performance package rather than simply copying a rear-wheel specification onto the front.
Staggered vs square S2000 wheels
Staggered: closest to Honda's factory philosophy and generally the easiest direction for a street car when suitable widths and offsets are chosen.
Square: useful for tyre rotation and track-focused balance, but front clearance becomes the limiting factor and may require more careful camber, tyre and suspension planning.
S2000 centre bore and hub rings
The S2000 is unusual because the front and rear hub pilots are not the same size. When using aftermarket wheels with a larger centre bore, confirm the correct hub-centric solution for each axle rather than assuming one ring size fits all four corners.
18-inch S2000 wheels
18-inch wheels can be used on street and show-oriented builds, but the reduced tyre sidewall and tighter body clearance make width and offset selection less forgiving. Seventeen-inch remains the more performance-focused starting point for many owners.

Honda S2000 wheel fitment FAQ
What PCD does the Honda S2000 use?
AP1 and AP2 S2000 models use 5x114.3.
Can I use a typical +20 or +25 drift-style wheel on a stock S2000?
Do not assume so. The S2000 is designed around much higher positive offsets, and low-offset wheels can sit far outside the factory position without substantial changes.
Are square wheels possible on an S2000?
Yes, but a square performance setup should be planned around front clearance, tyre width, camber and suspension rather than treated as a universal bolt-on specification.
Do S2000 front and rear hub rings use the same size?
Not necessarily. The front and rear hub pilots differ, so verify the required centre-bore solution for each axle and wheel.
